- MX6
I own a MX6, but she is aged and ready to go. I have had my eyes on a MazdaSpeed Protege for around $8k, which is really near the top of my budget. However, I have been reading about MS3's and MS6's and on paper they seems to douse out the MSP. MazdaSpeed 3/6 0-60 rated at 5.4/5.9, where the MSP is a 6.8 If I remember, the MX6 was rated at 7.2 for a 0-60, and for my next Mazda I would like to feel an upgrade in power. However, the cost of a MS3/6 with average miles is $11-14k, far up my budget.
I want an upgrade in power over my MX6, but I don't want to blow my budget through the roof either. Things I loved about my 6 were the moonroof, leather, stickshift, a blast to work on and the build quality was excellent.
Would the MSProtege be a significant upgrade, or is it going to feel the same? I'm really looking for people who have driven the MS variants of the 3/6/Protege. From my research it seems people prefer the 6 over the 3 in terms of room and performance, but the 3 has better build quality. Anyways, now I'm rambling. Thanks for any input.
